The recipe you linked to and the one Smithy posted were the same. I used my husband's family's recipe which is also the same except it calls for fruit sugar. I actually like vanilla in my shortbread so added 1/4 teaspoon ground vanilla. As i was using unsalted butter, I also added some flour de sel. Plus I like a bit of salt crunch in my shortbread. I sprayed the mold with baker's spray, patted the dough into the pan, covered the dough with parchment and pressed the dough down with my mini-roller. 15 minutes into the bake i realized I'd forgotten to prick the dough. Big Oopsie. The dough had risen quite a bit but I poked it anyway. After 30 minutes it looked done. I put a cutting board on top of it and it easily came out of the mold. As you can see from the picture, the design did not form on the cookie. Also, the bake was uneven, maybe both were due to my not pricking the dough? I'll try again tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes.
